Building Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP)

• Building Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP) is a bilateral cooperation project between the Ministry of Power, Government of India, and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) of the Swiss Confederation. It was started in
• The project’s central focus is to help India mainstream Energy-Efficient and Thermally Comfortable (EETC) Building Design for both commercial and residential buildings.
• The Bureau of Energy Efficiency is BEEP’s implementing agency for the Ministry of Power, while the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation oversees the project for FDFA.
• BEEP works with building industry, policy makers, and building owners to catalyze adoption of EETC building design and technologies.
• BEEP has provided technical support to BEE in the formulation of Eco-Niwas Samhita (energy conservation building code for residential buildings), design of around 50 buildings and trained more than 5000 building sector professionals.
